understand the

(real)democracy,

Intelligence,
what's that? Did those in charge in Haiti prior to the last
presidential vote once again prove that they lacked the faculty
of thought and reason, even when many or all of them possessed
university degrees, by failing to fully also investigate Mr.
Michel J. Martelly to determine that he was more of Haitian
extraction, that is he was also still a citizen of Haiti by
birth, or corruption, as usual, obstructed their ability and
willingness to do so, to avoid the very costly, painful
constitutional crisis the very sad Caribbean nation once again
finds itself in today?
Answer

culpability by a court of law for acts associated with
totalitarian dictatorship can 'Baby Doc' Duvalier be pardoned by
Haiti's President Michel J. Martelly?
